Side Nets for Effective Load Restraint on Curtainsiders

features > load-restraint

Side nets are an essential feature for curtainsided trailers, designed to improve load restraint and enhance safety during transport. Fitted securely behind the curtain, these nets help prevent loads from shifting or breaching the side aperture.

At Don-Bur, our side nets are tailored to suit each trailer specification and can be fitted to both new builds and retrofits. They are lightweight, easy to handle, and engineered for strength, ensuring that your operation stays compliant with EN 12195 load restraint standards.

The nets are supported by a dedicated track system installed in the roof, positioned inboard of the main cant rails. This setup ensures that the nets are properly tensioned and positioned to maximise their restraint function without interfering with the side structure or curtain operation.

Because the nets are semi-opaque, they provide a big advantage when opening the main curtains: the operator can quickly assess the condition and position of the load without having to climb inside or fully remove restraints, improving both safety and efficiency.

For specialised applications, such as brewery work, Loadhugger nets are often used. These nets hug the tops of keg loads, helping to minimise movement and keep the load securely in place even under braking or cornering. This extra stability reduces the risk of damage and ensures consistent delivery performance.

By using side nets, operators gain an extra layer of security, reducing the risk of accidents, damaged goods, or regulatory breaches. Whether you’re looking to improve your curtainsider’s safety profile or need to meet specific customer requirements, Don-Bur’s side nets offer a reliable, cost-effective solution.
